Well, than, I can tell you, with my 350, I've gotten 454 miles on a tank, without topping off, and the car wouldn't start. I got home fine, but it wouldn't start after that. I didn't think about getting a picture, but I get 400 fairly regularly. I drive about 400 miles a week, mostly highway. When I was using the toll roads, I was getting 420-430 more regularly. I want to fill up my car and then get on a toll and take it to the end, but there's no toll near me that long. I think I can get 470 or so. And that's about seven hours of straight driving for no real reason. And 50 bucks. And toll charges. Oh, that's why I haven't done it..

Damn, the most I get out of mine is about 330 - 340 (is350) on my old is250 I would get 380-390... guess I gotta let go of the gas a bit cause I do mostly hwy with barely any traffic

I never get less than 400-425 if it's all highway driving without heavy traffic in my 350... Most I ever managed was about 450.

When mixed highway/city driving is done it drops more into the 350-380 range

(all of the above assumes using about 15.2 gallons of fuel, which should get you to about 0 on the "miles to empty" indicator, despite actually having 2 gallons left... so in theory that 450 trip could've gone to 500 if I'd run it about dry)


Or to put it in a way that makes sense without relying on exactly when you fill up- I get ~28-30 mpg highway, and like 21-23 mpg city...

I hit 445 before I had to stop and fill up (next station not for 20+ miles). Still had ~20 miles on the est range.
